Why Heskey though? I think that is a joke.

Well it's only really him or Zamora, and Zamora needs surgery after the Final;

A.Young, Agbonlahor and Downing must feel cheated. How the hell do Walcott and SWP get in there? Even Lennon is lucky imo.

surprised at no carlton cole

good to see dawson there

 

[peterattheboro]

Johnson in, Downing not. Get in!!

 

[inogen]

Heskey is looking quite likely to go seeing as he's left Carlton Cole out. He likes a big man with Rooney. I'd be happier with Bent, Crouch, Defoe and Rooney myself. But there's no target man in there.

I'm surprised Young didn't get in.

My 23 would be :

Goalkeepers

Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green

Defenders

Leighton Baines, Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry

Midfielders

Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Scott Parker, Ashley Young

Forwards

Darren Bent, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Wayne Rooney

Young should be there instead of Wright-Phillips for me. Other than that I can't really complain with that squad. Surprised that Carragher is in there too but at least he is an experienced head if he does make it into the final squad

Brazil or Spain for me to win this WC...cant really see England getting past the QF's at least.

Still have Brazil as out and out favourites.

 

['Wes]

Spain will win it.

 

[Andybtsn]

Apart from Rooney I can't see that forward line scaring any opposition.
Heskey... unbelievable.

 

[duc999]

Walcott AND Wright-Philips ? A wasted place there. To me its either one or the other

 

[peterattheboro]

Apart from Rooney I can't see that forward line scaring any opposition.
Heskey... unbelievable.

I really hope Defoe shines at this WC.. he's unbelievable on his day.

 

[Beerbaron]

im surprised j cole got in. he is a good player but hasnt really found form or had a long run in the team this season. hopefully he will show his quality in the fa cup final.

 

['Wes]

We won't be winning any games until calamity James get's a damn haircut.

 

[el_dazza]

Heskey?

 

[duc999]

How you can have Heskey a centre forward who doesn't score goals going is beyond me.

I would have taken Carlton Cole.

 

[B&W]

Heskey.........................................................villas 3rd worst performer this season after downing and sidwell.

 

[antijoke]

EMILE ******* HESKEY!?! WHAT?

I'm not a huge Young fan but he's got to be picked ahead of SWP and Walcott. Capello clearly just doesn't rate him.

As for Carra; you've got to assume he'll go now after coming out of retirement. Also, other than Johnson, he's the only possible RB named in the 30.
